Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Best carbon wheelset under 800usd?
« on: Today at 03:25:42 AM »
Thanks for advice. I will go with M. I am finalising deal with Peter. Will keep you posted.
Could someone just help me a little bit with ordering bottom bracket? I will be using Ultegra FC8000 crankset. Peter said BB on frame is T47-68. I understand that for shimano i need 24mm bb, but I am a bit lost on internal or external type. Which one is the right one in this case? I will go with ZTTO one for now. Please anyone with more knowledge help haha.
Thank you guys in advance!

« on: May 27, 2025, 02:52:38 PM »I recently bought 3 and my friends are happy (doesn't mean much, but nobody complained about anything).
I believe i saw a picture of CS-R06 of one of your friends, can you please help me with sizes a little bit. I am 181cm tall, 88cm inseam. I am not very flexible and in the past used 56 size frames and they always felt to big and stretched for me. So i am leaning towards size M-515 as the L-540 feels more like normal 56 size frame, while size M is more towards 54 size, just a little bit smaller? Am I way off? What sizes are your friends and which frame sizes did they choose?
Any info would be more than great!

Damn thanks for all the advice and for that massive save/assist. I was aware of some people facing some issues regarding 017d however i didn’t know it was that bad.
I think I will contact Peter about the r06 frame as well. It weighs almost same as LCR017 and in my opinion looks much better. I will keep you guys posted once i close this deal with Peter. According to this forum, he is a massive legend.
Btw this forum is absolutely amazing! Thanks guys

Thank you massively for this reply. I am leaning towards normal round XMC and not wavy. Only fear was crosswinds as i am 65kg only. But i think i will contact them for some T800 variants with same hubs that sir Patrick Lino had in the video as they seem really decent. I will probably also take 50mm deep ones with 5mm spokes or would you advise against it?
Anyway huge thanks for advice. There is just so many options out there I was just a bit lost

Hello good people. I am preparing for my first bike build and i am a bit stuck on wheelset options as there is just so many and i would really appreciate your opinions and help.
I will be building it with Lightcarbon LCR017 frame (or are there any better options with t47 in this price range?) and mechanical ultegra.
Now to the wheelsets. As I plan to use it for more hilly rides, I wish for 45-50mm deep wheelset. Budget is around 700-800usd.
I was looking at some of carbonspeed wheelsets more specifically something like this: https://www.xmcarbonspeed.cc/products/carbon-speed-50mm-depth-26-mm-internal-width-disc-brake-gravel-bike-carbon-wheelset-700c-tubeless-compatible
Patrick Lino mentioned some similar wheelset in recent video, where it is mentioned how spokes are straight pull and also threaded in hubs which sounds great. Should i get 5mm spokes? Does anyone know if there is better wheelset at this price point? I am also considering wavy designs but i don’t think they offer them in such great specifications? On that note i was also looking at yishun wavy wheelset: https://www.yishunbike.com/series/rb-wheels
In ultra version but i am unsure if they are better than carbonspeed and worth getting.
I am going to run at least 30mm tires possibly 32mm set up tubeless.
Thanks everyone for help and opinions in advance!
